Shoppers will continue to enjoy our unique approach to quality service, which concentrates on providing customers with an educated staff to help make informed decisions on their purchases. We look forward to welcoming the community to the Grand Opening and hope they take advantage of the seminars, great prizes and special offers we have for them,” says Tom Herron, FFPC store owner.

The focus of the seminars will be on helping existing pond owners and those interested in building a pond.
